James Dexter has been incredibly prolific over the last few years, with numerous taste-making labels showcasing his ear for refined, dynamic house music. With his first release on the Poker Flat Wax series, the young Brit drops three new mission statements from the underground, each uniqued by a slick production sensibility and irresistible feel for groove.

Voices is a deep bomb - a shuffling, kinetic rhythm with oceans of space for subtle melodic elements and textures. Spread out over eight and a half minutes, this is one to get lost to.Point Blank’s deep pads and detuned kick drum reference Detroit's classic house sound, the raw drums and vocal snippets adding a truly basement vibe. Area 51 is another atmospheric late night jam, with a bumping rhythm track and subtle pad washes - stripped down and weaponized for the serious dancers.
